This paper examines how undergraduate work experiences affect engineering graduates' post-graduation starting salary, their cumulative grade point average upon graduation, and their likelihood of receiving a job offer prior to graduation. This study contributes to the field of undergraduate work experiences uniquely by taking into account academic performance prior to work experience, including the exact number of work experiences, and examining how gender interacts with work experience to affect the measured outcomes. The results show that more experience results in a higher post-graduation starting salary and an increased likelihood of a job offer prior to graduation. Increases in cumulative GPA upon graduation were only marginal. Furthermore, undergraduate work experience affected female and male students as well as students from different majors similarly.

G l~J n t n~~l i the 2 r / h o /undWe compared I I8 egalitarian women (subscribers to the Dutch feminist magazine Olci;) with 118 traditional women (subscribers to the widely read Dutch women's magazine .blurpie/). On average, egalitarian uomen had a more equal division of household labor at home than did traditional women but experienced more discontent about the division of labor in their relationship. Egalitarian women with an unequal division of labor experienced more discontent than did traditional women with an unequal division of labor. Relative to traditional women, egalitarian women more often compared their o u n contribution to housework with their partner's contribution (relational comparison) and with other \\.omen's division of labor (referential comparison). Compared to traditional women. egalitarian women gave higher prevalence estimates of both the percentage of Dutch women doing virtually all housework and the percentage ofuonien unhappy \\ith the division of labor.
